hak 21 Report post Posted January 5, 2008 Starts in ~1 hour Pretty obvious who are the favorites to win here. Just take a look at these statitics Team history JWC: Canada 2007 Canada GOLD 2006 Canada GOLD 2005 Canada GOLD 2004 Canada SILVER 2003 Canada SILVER 2002 Canada SILVER 2001 Canada BRONZE 2000 Canada BRONZE 1999 Canada SILVER 1997 Canada GOLD 1996 Canada GOLD 1995 Canada GOLD 1994 Canada GOLD 1993 Canada GOLD 1991 Canada GOLD 1990 Canada GOLD 1988 Canada GOLD 1986 Canada SILVER 1985 Canada GOLD 1983 Canada BRONZE 1982 Canada GOLD 1978 Canada BRONZE 1977 Canada SILVER Sweden 1996 Sweden SILVER 1995 Sweden BRONZE 1994 Sweden SILVER 1993 Sweden SILVER 1992 Sweden SILVER 1987 Sweden BRONZE 1981 Sweden GOLD 1980 Sweden BRONZE 1979 Sweden BRONZE 1978 Sweden SILVER With that being said this is 2008 and new teams are competing. Sweden is undefeated so far in the tournament even beating canada 4-3 in round robin. What are your predictions for this game? I believe it's gonna be a close and exciting game. Sweden has a strong and smart defence which i believe will shut down alot of canadas power we saw in the semi finals against USA. Sweden will have a hard time scoring on Mason. 2-1 or 3-2 to canada is my prediction. Sweden is the most offensive team in the tournament so far with 24 goals in 5 games. Also leads point production in powerplay. Canada has the fewest GA in the tournament. Someone help me add some more info//stats please. Here's for a great game tonight :beerbuddy: Go sweden!

BeeRYCE 2 Report post Posted January 5, 2008 Canada 2-0 after 2 periods. The initial Sweden win over Canada was a total flop if you saw the goals. Today's game is different. Even strength situations look like powerplays for Canada. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SweWings 45 Report post Posted January 5, 2008 (edited) Ok this game is ******* insane...Some great hockey by Canada in the first 2 periods and then Sweden takes over...Beautiful hockey - this is what it's all about...Not the crap goals from the first match...GREAT STUFF!! EDIT: I should add that the Swe commentators are going completely crazy...It's been a while since I heard something this crazy!!

hak 21 Report post Posted January 5, 2008 it's the most exciting period of hockey i've seen in a long time canada dominated first period. sweden came out flying in the beginning of the 2nd but were set back by 3 or 4 penalties in a row + canada played great. third period is not the same game. canada seems to focus more on defence and sweden starts to dominate the game totally. gets 1 goal in the mid and then less then 1 minute left they tie the game i can't wait for OT goo!!

Either way it was a really great game to watch, both teams played very hard. The swedes are going to be a good team next year as well. Congrads to the Swedes Goalie of the tourney...

J-Swift 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2008 Matthias drives to the net at a sharp angle, buddy bangs in the rebound... Amusingly enough, it was Joakim Andersson he outmuscled to get to the front of the net. The Swedish goalie Enroth looked crushed. I feel bad for him. He had a pretty solid tournament I thought.

dicksmack 33 Report post Posted January 5, 2008 Canada got the gold they always come for! YES! I thought Sweden walked all over us last game, and I didn't count them out for a second in this one but I guess both teams lucked out and Canada came out on top of the pile... The world juniors are always big for me since as a young lad I watched Hasek play against Canada in the final in Helsinki more than a few years ago...
